Sinopsis

Bettany Sendris knows that going to the dour lord of Harrow Hall to plead for more time to pay her taxes is probably a fool's mission. However, with winter closing in on her tiny village, and barely enough food to put on her and her grandmother's table, she realizes she has no alternative.

But when the worst storm in decades strands her in Lord Greymount's gloomy castle, Bettany soon discovers that her presence there may bring some long-hidden secrets to light, secrets that could cost her more than just her heart.... (Book 7 of the Tales of the Latter Kingdoms)

Author’s Note: While this is the seventh book in this series, all Tales of the Latter Kingdoms novels are written as standalone romances and can be read in any order.

Relaxing

As I have read other books by CHRISTINE POPE, I was happy this was a stand alone book. To take the story a bit further would ave been wonderful...maybe there will be a trilogy for this book? A wonderful, relaxing and very enjoyable read.

Beauty and the Beast 21st century style!!!

Fairy tales for adults!!! This is a brilliantly crafted retelling of the Beauty and the Beast legend!!!
Bettany Sendris is an orphan, living with her grandmother in a tiny hamlet. Their tithe is due to the local overlord and money had run out. She undertakes a long trek to plead in person for more time to pay. She arrives at the gothic style castle just as a once in a lifetime snow storm envelopes the area. Now a reluctant guest to an even more reluctant overlord, Bettany is stranded.
But there is ore going on than a snow storm. Why are there no women in the castle? Why does the man in charge seem reluctant to be alone with her?
This was a great read. I have to admit that I haven't read the others on this series (soon to be rectified!!!). However I felt that it didn't slow me down in immersing myself in the world. I was soon caught up in the mystery and passion of the couple. Hugely enjoyed the entire thing and I had to read it all in one go - I could not put it down!!!! Hoping there are many more to come in this series!!
